Kelly
Mr. McCallister listens, “You don’t have to be like Anika or Mark. Your best chance of making the team is to be yourself, and see if you really want to be on Legacy. And even though you say you understand that this is serious business, I doubt you really understand what you are getting at. Until you have seen the effects of a plague on a village, or had to use lethal force when there was no option, or having to make decisions that affect others, then you can say that you understand. This is a learning experience for everyone.”
He paused adjusting his glasses, “I don’t hold anything against you Kelly, and I mean you may be rich and spoiled, but I assure you, I look at each individual as just that. An individual. You make your own decisions, you will decide by your actions what happens to Kelly Mitchell. But the one thing you need to learn is that Legacy is not a team of superheroes. Not even the Justice Elite, American Freedom, or what have you can claim that. You can rest assured they are doing great things, but they are getting compensation for their actions, they are heroes in the same sense that a policeman, or a fireman is a hero. But there is nothing super about them. We don’t train people here to be superheroes. We teach, and we try to educate young elites on how to use their powers without harming others.”
He finishes, “I don’t have the luxury to justify your actions and opinions about Genocide, Kelly. You reacted as many would react, and if you had followed through you would probably be dead, or injured. Overconfidence and youth go hand in hand, but when you are facing a relatively unknown enemy that is a grievous flaw that usually proves fatal. Now I hope that answers your question. Your actions, and not your name or status, will make the final decision. At least as long as I have a say about Legacy.”
Ryan
Shao Lin stood, “I make no acts, I speak as the wind demands it. I tell you what it tells me, and its words are not as ours. It speaks in koans because what is to be, is both stone and clay. Will something happen tonight, yes, it will. Will it be a horrible catastrophe I cannot say, tonight is not known to me, the wind tells me what it wishes me to know. I must plead gentle ignorance Ryan.”
He bowed, “But I do believe that a young woman awaits you, perhaps she can soothe the fear within. For the fear what is unknown can lead to even more disaster. But we live in interesting times, and perhaps fear is our only friend.”
Karen
Claire nods, “Then I am going with he pants,” she walks into the bathroom and changes and models her outfit. She smiles, “I think tonight is going to be great, especially Sakura Red shows up, I love her. Kelly Mitchell is great too. Wow, two big singers right here?”
She takes a seat, “So did you hear about the students that got picked for Legacy, some of them are really cool. Like Mark, ahh he is so cute. He is going with this new girl Star, she is pretty, and hangs out with that Tommy guy. I wouldn’t mind bringing Mark back here,” she giggles mischievously.
Charlotte
As Charlotte finishes off her hair, she hears a gentle knock at the door. Her mystery date is here, or at least it could be. Or just one of the girls in the hall looking for some last minute stuff for the dance, but it could be.
Mark
OOC: SARAH replies with several world-class agents and lawyers that are experienced with dealing with elites. She provides Mark a list with credentials, prices, and locations.
Star smiles, “What is wrong Mark, you don’t seem too happy? Is it me? It probably is, I understand you must feel uncomfortable taking a machine. I guess it is only natural.”
She sighs, “I don’t want you to feel obligated to take me. Your not doing a favor for Tommy, if you want to go with me, then tell me, but at least be honest with me okay? I learned that from Anika.”
